Studios in the Artist Studio Award Program

All studios are currently occupied by local artists. 

We are currently considering ways to improve the program and do not anticipate a new intake until mid-2027 at the earliest. We do not maintain a waitlist as this is a juried program.

Art practices allowed

All studios are approved for producing carvings, creative writing, dance, drawings, moving- or still photography, music, paintings, pottery, sculptures, textile crafts, weaving, and video.

Welding and glassblowing are not permitted. None of the studios have venting for toxic fumes. Soundproofing varies so the use of amplified music is generally not permitted.

There are currently 6 studios in the program: 

  • 4 residential workspaces (live-work)
  • 2 work-only

Live-work studios

Occupancy in the live-work bachelor studios is for one to two adults
